colimpha

COLIMPHA
, quasi Colymba, ἀπὸ τοῦ κολυμβᾷν, natare, Navicula urinatoria, in qua qui foret, etiam ea aquis obruta, non indigeret lumine, quia speculi electrini, vel vitrei beneficio pelluceret. Ita Vossius ad hunc locum Hieronymi : Aiunt in ipsas Colimphas ipsum Alexandrum introisse, et profundum conscendisse, et usque ad imum, ut sciret Oceani profundum, et differentiam maris et abyssi. Alias Colimbi dicuntur tubi per quos currit aqua per loca occulta, in Glossis Isonis.
